The broader U.S. market has reached a new record high for the 45th time this year, driven by gains in bank stocks. JP Morgan rose 4% on encouraging earnings, providing a boost to Wall Street. In corporate news, Tesla shares plunged nearly 9% after a disappointing Robotaxi event, while Uber surged 11% on a surprise earnings report, hitting an all-time high. Meanwhile, investors remain cautious after Chinese stimulus measures fell short of expectations. Despite mixed commodity prices, the Aussie dollar strengthened, and futures suggest solid gains for the ASX 200.
